After having a thorough chat with Song Jue, Taishi Hua's knot seemed to be relieved, and he looked much more relaxed.
According to the reports from the patrol battalion soldiers who were responsible for guarding the Taishi's residence, Taishi Hua's life was very regular. He got up in the morning and had a boxing session, then had breakfast. After breakfast, he went to the Buddhist hall to worship the Buddha. After dinner, I walked around the yard a few times, then turned off the lights and fell asleep.
Although I only have two meals a day, my physical condition has improved and my spirit is much better than before. It seems that I have really let go.
Song Jue expressed that he was very satisfied with the current situation of Grand Master Hua, but he still did not take it lightly. The guards at the gate of Grand Master's Mansion became stricter and even sent two shadows.
"You have to be on guard against others?" Seeing Song Jue nodding, Shen Haolin looked helpless, "Okay, as long as you are happy." He looked at Shen Cha who was taking a nap on his shoulder, glared at him and wanted to come over. Song Jue said angrily, "If you want to see Wan Yanxi, you can't be a little later. So early in the morning, let us go into the palace and wait? We didn't go to bed until the tea time, and we didn't sleep for two hours Your people woke me up!"
"What are you doing sleeping so late?"
"What else can we do?" Shen Haolin rolled his eyes. "Although we have left the border gate, we still need to know what is going on at the border gate. If we don't have time during the day, we naturally deal with these things at night." He adjusted his position so that Shen Cha leaned more comfortably, "You asked Qiyun and Bai Meng to bring people in. What do you want to ask?"
"It doesn't matter what you ask. The main thing is to see this person and see his sincerity." Song Jue pointed to himself, "Haolin, we grew up together. After so many years, you also know me. I see people. Very accurate. If he can pass my test, there will be absolutely no problem in borrowing troops."
"What if I can't pass?" Shen Cha was half asleep. She didn't dare to sleep too hard. If she really fell asleep, it would be rude to wake up when someone else came. She half-opened her eyes and sighed softly, "Aren't you going to take advantage? Let the cooked duck fly. This is not your style."
"Xiao Cha still understands me. Even if he can't pass my test, with my sharp tongue, I will make him work hard for us wholeheartedly." Song Jue winked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Don't you still believe in my ability?"
"Believe it, why don't you believe it!" Shen Haolin rubbed Shen Cha's neck to make her feel a little more comfortable, "Isn't the Grand Master a good example? He refused to tell his true thoughts before, and you can't help but I said anything to deceive or scare you."
"The credit for the Grand Master's work cannot be attributed to me. That's because his son's letter was too powerful. In fact, if you ask me, Hua Yao would have made up his mind to leave Xinxijing a few years ago, but the Grand Master's situation would not be the same. It's as serious as it is now." Song Jue sighed, "His main concern is that he is afraid that Hua Yao is young and energetic, and that he will repeat his own mistakes and do wrong things that he may regret."
"He was blindly immersed in his past and ignored Hua Yao's growth, so he misjudged Hua Yao's nature." Shen Cha stretched, "From this aspect, the Grand Master is also a very pitiful person. people."
Song Jue nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he heard three gentle knocks on the door, and then Ying Shisan quickly flashed in.
"Your Majesty, the Duke, the boss!" Ying Thirteen knelt on one knee, saluted, and then stood up at Song Jue's signal, "The carriage passed Xuande Street and was about to arrive at the gate of the palace. The prince sent The subordinates came back and said that after they entered the palace, they were brought to the side hall according to our previous plan. Are you sure they won't change places again?"
"Tell Qiyun and Xiaobaizi to take the person there according to the original plan and let him wait for a cup of tea before we show up."
"Yes!" Ying Thirteen saluted again, left the imperial study, and went to reply to Song Qiyun and Bai Meng.
"Among us, you are the most evil-minded." Shen Haolin gave Shen Cha water while not forgetting to ridicule Song Jue, "Your two brothers are all evil-minded like you. As a result, They look much stupider than you."
"Are they stupid?" Song Jue snorted coldly, "You haven't seen how naughty they were when they were young. If they weren't too energetic, they wouldn't have been coaxed by their father to go to the border! Of course, If they don't have that heart, no matter how much my father coaxes, it will be useless." He knocked on the table lightly, "By the way, there is one more thing I almost forgot. I talked to Lei Peng and he was willing to go. Wangxin Town. However, he has a request."
"You don't want the county government, right?"
"Yes, it is too easy for the county government to become a constraint for military commanders in such an important town, but if there is no restraint, I am not very relieved. I am not doubting Lei Peng's character and loyalty. Nine generations of the Lei family have been loyal to the royal family. This point It’s not wrong. What I’m worried about is that Lei Peng has never had the experience of being in charge of an army alone, and sometimes he can be too aggressive, so he needs someone around him to remind him to avoid making big mistakes.”
"Yes, it is indeed needed." Shen Haolin nodded, "Checks and balances are not only needed in the court, but also in the army. Deputy Commander Lei is brave and brave, but occasionally he will ignore it. Someone is really needed. Be there to remind him."
"Are there any good candidates?"
"We don't know much about the situation here in Xijing, and we don't think it's very good, but there is a very suitable person among the people who came with us to Beijing this time, An Ming." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows at Song Jue, " You met him when you were in Jiapingguan City, and you said he had the demeanor of a Confucian general."
"Ah!" Song Jue clapped his legs, "I remembered that this person was very calm. When he saw me, he was also very calm and not so excited. I once thought that this person had facial paralysis, and his face was different. Can make any expression."
"Except for his brother, probably no one will cause him to have too many reactions!" Shen Haolin sighed, "He is just too calm and thinks too much, so he is not suitable to stay here." Border. Cha'er and I have discussed that if Wangxin Town needs someone similar to a deputy general or military advisor, he is the most suitable candidate we can think of."
"Are you planning to separate the two brothers?" Song Jue was a little helpless, "Have you asked the two brothers for their opinions?"
"If you agree, it's not too late for us to ask again. If you don't agree, we asked in advance, and they agreed, but then nothing happened. Wouldn't that make people happy in vain?" Shen Cha finally passed. Feeling sleepy, he looked at Song Jue and said, "Actually, there is a better way. While we are still in the capital, let Deputy Dutong Lei and An Ming get to know each other, and work together for two days to see how they get along. , is it a good match? If we understand each other well, we don’t have to worry. If we don’t get along well, how about we consider other candidates? "
"Xiaocha's idea is very good, and it coincides with mine."
Shen Haolin looked at Song Jue's smug look and sighed softly. The older this man got, the more shameless he became.
Before he could figure out how to ridicule Song Jue again, Shadow Thirteen left and returned.
"Your Majesty, the people have arrived. Tea has passed the third round!"
